Keeping work people off of your social media.

Idk how much I recommend my particular approach to those looking to build up their careers but I flat out hide my capabilities sometimes and flex selectively. When I speak up and others realize I know a thing or two then I inevitably get roped into solving for extra crap that isn't my own. Nothing wrong with being silent on some calls. Being a team player can really erode your WL balance.

I have semi hard stops for my work day. Unless there is truly an emergency or high priority deadline that I’m aware of before shutting down I do not check email or chats after hours. Agree with someone else, no connections to colleagues on social media. Plan AND schedule your vacations!! Put them on your calendar and notify your teams well in advance.

Question about what to do next. I’ve maxed out everything—401k, HSA, IRA, backdoor Roth 401k. My bills are all paid. I’ll probably make about 16,500 more this year to do stuff with (ie money that isn’t going to taxes or insurance or anything). What should I do with it? Crypto? Set it on fire? Get a hair transplant?
